Crisis
Crisis & acute distress
Living through a crisis means experiencing a level of emotional distress that feels overwhelming or unmanageable in the moment. A crisis can be triggered by sudden events, accumulated stress, or a breaking point after long-term strain. During these periods, usual coping strategies may no longer feel accessible.
Indicators
Crisis may show up as intense anxiety, panic, emotional shutdown, impulsive behaviour, or feeling unable to cope with day-to-day demands. You may feel disoriented, unsafe, or disconnected from yourself, with emotions that escalate quickly or feel out of control.
How therapy can help
Therapy during a crisis focuses on immediate support, stabilization, and grounding. The goal is to help reduce distress, restore a sense of safety, and support you through the moment while identifying next steps for ongoing care.
